"The hotel is not a hotel it is a motel . The drive to Te Anau is 20 mins. The view from the motel is beautiful. The beds are not comfortable, and the pictures on Expedia is a misrepresentation of what the property actually is."

Overall we had a wonderful weekend an our hosts were awesome.

Awesome place if you’re out these ways. Philippa and Rob are amazing hosts. We got a garden view room with a lovely view. Convenient location. The hosts let us park at theirs while we were on the overnight cruise in Doubtful Sound. Breakfast was included and it was a clocked breakfast. Will definitely stay again

If you are thinking about going to Te Anau, this place is a MUST! The rooms were beautiful, super clean, cosy and private.
The host here are friendly, helpful and cook a great breakfast. There is no where else that I would book in this area.

Great location right on the waters the cabins were very clean.
It is an additional charge to use the spa and it needs to be booked (might be useful if they tell you this information when you check in). Would recommend

Motel situated a block off the Lake and walking distance to town is 10 minutes. There is a walkway through to Lake. Motel is clean, kitchen facilities are basic but sufficient. Plenty of coffee and tea provided. Bikes and BBQ's available and there is also a coin operated laundry. $4 wash and $4 dryer. Car parks a little narrow but overall a good place to stay

Hi arrived late due to having car problems so i was already abit annoyed but when I went check in there was no rooms available for our stay this was though no fault of the staff eggy was absolutely brilliant but Expedia had stuffed up.
She went above and beyond to find us other accommodation which we were greatful for but were abit sad as we were really looking forward to staying here so we just want to send her a massive thank you for making a bad day less stressful
Cheers charmaine and john

We stayed for one night. Looked & felt new, beds were really comfy and shower pressure was amazing. Cafes, restaurants & golf cour are all about a 5min drive.
Wi-Fi signal was non-existant in the room so we had to stand outside to use it. A couple extra pillows would have been great. The fridges are tiny so can't fit much in them.
Overall, fantastic place and would gladly stay again.
